They do show minimal specs, not a isotropic map like you may be used to
for ham antenna adds but 12db, 30 degree angle of radiation Its fed with type N-male connector. up to 50 watts input power 1:5.1 avg SWR @2.5 Ghz choice of feedline of course would be up to you but I wanted to get the thing up and running so for test purposes I used 20 feet of old RG-58 30 mw input and have it pointed at my ISP 4.5 miles away that's how I get 1.5 Mb internet service -- Rex Geissinger KA6SQM Microsoft Core Group ) "Joel Kolstad" wrote in message ...

OTOH, they're Pringles cans - i.e., mylar- or aluminum-coated cardboard. If you want something a bit more substantial, check out http://www.cantenna.com. For $20 bucks, it's a better bargain than growing your own... It certainly looks well-constructed, but I'd have a lot more confidence in Cantenna's products if they had measured (or even simulated) radiation patterns and calculations. They also don't mention their feed arrangement which could make a huge difference in actual performance. ---Joel Kolstad |
